Great looking Revo! BTW what tires and wheels are those?

Sammus 04.27.2008 08:24 PM
Look kinda like axial truggy rims (lol not that they look heaps different - I think I can see a logo there) with proline LPRs. I run the same thing in white. Corrent me if I'm wrong :)

bustitup 04.27.2008 09:07 PM
yes they are Proline LPR series 1/2" offset wheels with crime fighters

yes this sounds like the best bullet proof setup along with the innards of the 3905 diff's....and eventually I will be going this way soon as I get tired of playing with the twin v's and they finally release the combo MMM

UPDATE

yes I got my stock 3.3 revo shafts and one of them worked on the rear of my truck the other was too short (good spare lol) so I ordered a set of center shafts from a 3905 to use the longer one for my front

so your read was right Sammus

i used a stock 3.3 axle for my front shaft, worked great, couldnt have been any wider tho lol

hmmmm I thought of that..what did you have to do to the axle end to make it work?...any pics?

I have an extra 3.3 axle shaft I could try while waiting for my emaxx shaft

so when you take off that blue rubber boot..the axle slides together right there?

suicideneil 05.03.2008 01:02 PM
Yep. The blue rubber boot kinda limits how long the shaft 'stretch'- if you need it to be longer just cut off the boot. If the shaft is too long, trim off the boot and the male half of the shaft, until it is short enough to fit.

big greg 05.03.2008 01:04 PM
yup i just cut it were it was glued, you do have to shorten it about a 1/2 inch for the ends i used the yokes from the old revo shafts and diffs, the tranny side i just cut the pins off and i had to shave the edges back on the output shafts on the tranny

big greg 05.03.2008 01:04 PM
damn fast brit typer!

bustitup 05.03.2008 01:07 PM
yes but how do you address the actual metal axle end of the shaft so it hooks up to the output of the dif or tranny? (the yoke end)

big greg 05.03.2008 01:12 PM
mmmm burn plastic gonna love it, dunno if you had an axle apart yet, but the slines only line up well in like one spot, make sure you note that
